A “Be My Valentine” eye look using two new products from Pür Minerals ~ Perfect Fit Lady Luck Eye Shadow Compact & Big Blink Mascara !

Since “all hearts” are “aflutter” this month of Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d put together a Valentine look for your eyes with a couple of new products from Pür Minerals. This company has great products and I’ll be using the Pür Perfect Fit Lady Luck Eye Shadow compact that is a “Pürfect” trio for any eye, along with the Pür Big Blink Mascara that will have your “eyes fluttering” as you receive tons of “Will You Be My Valentine?” requests!!

Lady Luck is a great all-in-one trio. The colors can be used as natural or as bold as you’d like. Lady Luck shadows can also be worn any time, anywhere, and for any occasion because they have a trending neutral look that enhances all wardrobe and eye colors.

Pür – Lady Luck Perfect Fit Eye Shadow

I basically used the same technique on each eye, but I applied the colors in different depths and blended them to achieve a look that was appropriate for each model.

Here’s how I applied the Lady Luck eyeshadow:
1. I started with the lightest colored shadow called TYCHE, and applied it over the entire eye area with soft wider eye brush. TYCHE lights up the eye, helps eliminate any shadows, and provides a nice base for the other two colors.

2. I brushed FORTUNE , the bronze soft copper shade, in a diagonal angle from the inner corner of the eyelid to the outer end of the eyebrow. I also made sure to bring the shadow just above the crease of the eye with a flat softer brush to lift the appearance of the eye “Up & Out”. FORTUNE doesn’t necessarily contour the eye, but it gives a very attractive shaping to each person’s unique eye proportion.

3. SHAMROCK is the final shadow I used. The color and depth is a perfect shade for lining and / or contouring the eye. It’s a beautiful color and I chose to use it slightly dampened with a liner brush to line and shape around, and just above the crease of the eye. I followed the contour of each model’s eye. I then blended with a smudge type brush to soften the look, as needed.

4. I added an additional touch of TYCHE to highlight at the arch of the brow, and layered a touch of FORTUNE to soften the SHAMROCK contour, if necessary, or if more “lift” in the outer corner of the eye was needed..

The objective: To achieve a subtle look that ENHANCES a person’s eyes.

The finishing touch is the new Pür Big Blink Mascara . All three of my models just loved this mascara. It has an exclusive clump resistant wand that builds, lengthens, and coats each lash evenly! Big Blink mascara is also fortified with Argan Oil. This is a mascara that provides Long, soft, beautiful lashes with a healthy sheen!! I also like the fact that I could get those corner lashes with ease using the tip of the Big Blink Mascara brush.

I did closeup images so you could see how LADY LUCK looked on each model. Hopefully this will illustrate how blending and applying the same colors can achieve different looks, and encourage you to experiment and find different ways to express yourself. An eye trio like Lady Luck is great because all of the colors are coordinated in a handy portable compact for your convenience.

MODEL: STACY

Creating a conservative blended version of this technique on Stacy, I used a soft line of SHAMROCK in the crease and really blended it with FORTUNE. I then used just a touch of TYCHE under the brow arch for a seamless, yet shaded look. Stacy’s upper eyelid is proportioned perfectly for an eyeliner! I fully lined her upper lid and also applied liner to 1/2 of her lower lid. Two coats of Big Blink really enhanced her naturally beautiful lashes.

MODEL:SARA

Sara has perfect almond shaped deeper set eyes. I softened the crease area with FORTUNE but left a bit more depth of the SHAMROCK shadow to define above the crease of her eye. I did a little more highlighting with TYCHE under the arch of her brow and kept a defined upper and lower line for a sophisticated smudged look that is so popular. Big Blink “did the trick, by separating and not clumping Sara’s long beautiful eyelashes.

TEEN MODEL: OLIVIA

Olivia needed very little makeup, but with a light touch of the Lucky Lady Trio and the Big Blink Mascara I achieved a very age appropriate look for this lovely young lady. Over the TYCHE I used a thin liner brush and lined Olivia’s upper and lower lids with SHAMROCK. ( I smudged the lower lid line for more of a shadow effect.) With the same liner brush I defined the crease of her eye and blended upward with a q-tip. I then applied FORTUNE on the crease and diagonally up to the outer edge of her eyebrow. I highlighted with TYCHE under her brow from the inner corner to the edge of FORTUNE, and lightly blended that edge to create a flawless, but shaded and defined eye. The Big Blink lifted Olivia’s super long upper and lower lashes and with the nice separation from the wand, and the sheen from the Argan oil in this new mascara, Olivia looked “naturally” amazing!!
